<h2>Mishka's speed = 14 km/hr</h2><h2>Current speed = 2 km/hr</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of rowing be r and speed of current be c.

If he rows with the current, Mishka rows 48 km in 3 hours.

        Relative speed = r + c

        Distance = 48 km

        Time = 3 hours

        48 = 3 x ( r+c)

        r + c = 16 ---------------------------eqn 1

If he rows against the current, it takes 4 hours to travel the same distance.

        Relative speed = r - c

        Distance = 48 km

        Time = 4 hours

        48 = 4 x ( r - c)

        r - c = 12 ---------------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

        2r = 28

          r = 14 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

         14 + c = 16

                c = 2 km/hr

Mishka's speed = 14 km/hr

Current speed = 2 km/hr

Rectangle A has length 12 and width 8. Rectangle B has length 15 and width 10. Rectangle C has length 30 and width 15.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

  yes; 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The length to width ratios of the rectangles are ...

  A: 12/8 = 1.5

  B: 15/10 = 1.5

  C: 30/15 = 2.0

__

Rectangles A and B have the same aspect ratio, so are similar. Rectangle B is a scaled copy of A with a scale factor of 10/8 = 1.25.
